DBA “Carbonaut” (“Carbonaut”) is an extension of our commitment to combine the highest-quality products and services with the highest level of integrity in dealing with our valued customers, and the companies, businesses, and organizations they represent (collectively, “you”). Carbonaut is committed to protecting the privacy rights of identifiable individuals and has prepared this Policy to detail how Carbonaut collects, uses, and discloses any Personal Information collected about you on the Carbonaut website, www.carbonaut.co (the Website).
BY USING THE WEBSITE, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU VOLUNTARILY CONSENT TO THE COLLECTION, USE, AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION BY CARBONAUT FROM TIME TO TIME FOR THE SPECIFIC PURPOSES SET OUT IN THE POLICY.

YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE WEBSITE AFTER ANY SUCH MODIFICATION CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE MODIFIED AGREEMENT.
- INFORMATION. Carbonaut obtains information from and about you in a number of different ways, including:
- General Information. Some information (the “General Information”) is gathered automatically when you access the Website. The General Information (which includes website pages visited, type of web browser used, type of operating system, the domain name of your Internet service provider, and similar information) does not identify you personally;

Personal Information includes information that can identify an individual (for example, your name, home telephone number, personal mobile telephone number, home address, personal email address, personal fax number, social insurance number, driver’s license number, physical description, and credit card or other financial information specifically about you). However, Personal Information does not include business “contact information”, which is defined under the Act as information to enable an individual at a place of business to be contacted for business purposes, such as name, position name or title, business telephone number, business mobile telephone number, business address, business email, or business fax number of an individual.
You must provide Personal Information to Carbonaut if you wish to purchase gift cards or other items, or if you wish to receive coupons, newsletters, or other information.
